Frances Wonderful New RiGe.

The Lebel rife, the new arm with
which the French infantry will be
supplied before next spring, is, ac-
cording to all accounts. II wonder, and
several models of the gun which have
been received here have excited great
interest. The new rifle is known by
the name of its inventor, Lebel, and is
smaller and lighter than the rifles now
in use; the French soldiers call it "the
little gum" The most authentic de-
scriptions given to the gun agree in
attributing to it a carrying power be-
yond that of any rifle heretofore in
use. The models received in New
York are not known to be accurate
copies of the Lebel gun, and expert
ments with them are impossible,
owing to the fact that the powder used
is q secret compound of which the
French Government has the monopoly.
According to all accounts the Lebel
gun will carry its bullet more than
mile and half, and with a more
certain aim than has been possible
with ordinary rifles. The bore of the
gun is very small, and the ball, which
is of steel and sharply pointed at one
end, is said to revolve at speed of
thousand revolutions second. In the
tests made by the French Government
this bullet has penetrated brick wall
eight inches thick at distance of 500
yards; it will 60 through any kind of
armor which can be worn by soldiers,
and at distance of more than mile
will pass through man as easily as
at ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil
under fire, and the powder gives out
no smoke whatever. 1t has been said
that the powder used must be type
of the smokeless hunting powder al
ready in the market, but this is denied
by the inventor, who says that he uses
an entirely new compound. The LebeI
gun is, of course, repeater, and the
cartridges are so small that each
soldier carries 220 rounds of ammuni-
tion, as against 116 rounds, formerly
considered the maximum. - E0eniug

never came near ner.
Several times she encountered his
glance; and something in his earnest
look moved her strangely.
There was mad wild hope In her
heart that he would ask her TO dance.
Foolish Ritai She had been cold
and Indifferent, vouchsaiing him Meth
er word nor glance II she could avoid
IL; and now that he in his turn held
aloof, she was miserable.
The lights and music Jared on her
excited nerves, and she longed to be
alone.
After several unsuccessful attempts,
she finally escaped TO the conservatory,
unnoticed and unattended.
She had not been there many min
utes when she was aroused by the sound
of voices near her.
"Whata foolish manw Rita heard
strange voice say. You have every
thing to make you happy. and yet you
declare you are wretched."
II have not the thing l most desire"
answered voice that made Rita shrink
further behind the large plants that
screened her.
Not for the world would she have

said Ralph unsieadily.
'Old man, am sorry for vou-I

''isi Rita Campbell?'
"Yes," adm tied Ralph slowly; and
they moved on.
Rita was too stunned to move, even
when their 20 ces had died away.
A tremor shook her frame; the slow
tears gathered beneath her lashes and
began to fall one by one.
''Does he love meP" she cried, try
ing to believe in her happiness.
And SO absorbed was she that she
did not hear the sound of approaching
footsteps,
A startled exclamation reused her.
and looking up, she found Ralph stand
ing beside her.
They were both terribly agitated, but
after a moments silence, Ralph said
very gently:
''Miss Campbell. you have learned
in the last few minutes what / intend-
ed you should never know. have al
ways laughed at the idea of love at
first sight, but the first time saw you
my heart went from me. How my love
grew as the days went by it would be
impossible to tell you, but the hope of
my life was to call you my wife.

Not one word crossed the beautiful
lips when he finished
Fearing he had annoyed her beyond
all forgiveness, Ralph started away;
but, as though She OWNED his
thoughts, Rita rose to her feet.
As she raised her eyes to his face,
something in their lovely depths gave
Ralph touch of rapture he had never
known before.
''Rita," he cried in low impassioned
tone, "can it be true that you love me

She made no verbal answer, but
turned to him face full of happiness
and content In another moment she
was in his arms.

''say-I love you"

with his lips to hers.
A moment later he knew, with
thrill of rapture, his kiss had been re-
turned.

Here They are.
Philadelphia Record,]

The people of the United States are
daily told by the advocates Of protec-
tion that the tariff system does not
need any reform, and that any change
in 1t should be in the direction of high
er rates of duty. The daring assertion
is made in presence of the fact that un-
der the operation of tariff legitimate
pecessariees of living are controlled
absolutely by monopolies. Here are
some of the monopolistic creations
and outgrowths of our iniquitous tariff
system which have oppressed and
plundered the people of this country
though the power which the tariff has
conferred upon them:
The Bessemer Steel Monopoly.
The Crucible Steel Trust.
The Nail Association.
The Coal Combination.
The Coke Combination.
The Lumber Trust.
The Sugar Trust.
The Salt Combination.
The Flour-Bag Trust.
The Maine Sardine Fraud.
The WALLPAPER Trust.
The Window Glass Combination.
Ihe BafD-Wlfe King.
The School-Slate Trust.
The Sheet-Zinc Monopoly.
The Russia Sheet-Iron Monopoly.
This does not by any means exhaust
the number of tariff-fed monopolies,
but the above will enable consumers
in the United States to form q very
clear conception of the extent to which
they have been plundered by o system
of legal fraud and oppression. Let the
American workingmen carefully scan
this partial list and say how much pro-
lection there is in it for them. While
the prices of many of the necessaries
and comforts oftheir families have been
cruelty enhanced by this system, they
must sell their daily labor for what it
will bring in the open market. Millions
of people are plundered in order to
minister to the greed of a few monopo-
| lies. Ifthe duties on the recessaries of
living should be repealed the wages OF
workingmen would be practically
enhanced, since consumers would pay
less for their commodities. IF the due
| ties on raw material should at the
same time be abolished the field of pro-
duction would be widened and employ
ment for labor in all departments of in
dustry be more secure and more re-
munerative.

Muskingum aud Perry County Men
Lose their Genuine Money.

Notwithstanding the many exposures
and warnings by the newspapers, there
still remain people who are gullible
enough TO believe that they can get
ahead Of the government by purchas-
ing counterfeit money. .
The New York police captured two
"sawdustn swindlers, otherwise known
as dealers In ''green goods" on Monday.
In the trunk In their room was found a
book with the names and addresses of
the recent victims Of SOLVER & Forth, -
as the firm was known. The telegram
says: "The trunk contained the imple-
ments OF the 'sawdust" trade. many let
tiers from persons who had been swim
died, five kinds of green goods, circu-
lars, and one of Bradstreeps books of
addresses. There were account books
also, showing how much business had
been done lately by Oliver Forth.
These books and letters were amusing
reading for the police, some Of the let
tiers were of pitiful nature, imploring
the men TO be honest with them, that
they (the victim) were poor and could
not afford to lose the money. Genuine
bank notes of the one dollar denomina-
ton cut in half that were intended to
be sent away, were also found in book
that was evidently the journal, ledger
and cash book of the concern. The
largest customer for green goods of
which there is any record was Francis
Rahl, Of Coldwater, Mercer county,
Ohio, who had visited this city on
August 10, and had stayed fifteen days
the Hotel Bartholdi, in order to pay
$500 to the swindlers for what he
thought was 81 900 in counterfeit mon
ey, only to find brick and some ashes
in his satchel when he got home. He
was entered in the account book as A
81, Jas. Martin, of McLuney, Ohio, has
given up $175 for bag of sawdust that
he fondly hoped was $3.50 in green
stuff H. o. Wylie, of New Concord,
Ohio, registered at the Putnam House
on November 28, and enriched the
swindlers to the extent of $l2O. The
sum of fninety-nine dollars was squeezed
out of ]. c. Thirkield, of Anna, Shelby
county, Ohio, stayed at the Hotel Bar
